Synopsis

Last months of World War II in April 1945. As the Allies make their final push in the European Theater, a battle-hardened U.S. Army sergeant in the 2nd Armored Division named Wardaddy commands a Sherman tank called “Fury” and its five-man crew on a deadly mission behind enemy lines. Outnumbered and outgunned, Wardaddy and his men face overwhelming odds in their heroic attempts to strike at the heart of Nazi Germany.It is April 1945. As the Allies make their final push into Nazi Germany, Don “Wardaddy” Collier, a battle-hardened U.S. Army staff sergeant in the Second Armored Division, commands an M4 Sherman “Easy Eight” tank nicknamed Fury and its veteran crew: gunner Boyd “Bible” Swan, loader Grady “Coon-Ass” Travis, driver Trini “Gordo” Garcia and assistant driver/bow gunner “Red”. They have been together since the North African campaign. Don has a deep hatred for the infamous German Waffen-SS. Red is killed in action and replaced by Private Norman Ellison,

a fresh recruit trained only as a clerk typist.As they move deeper into Germany, Norman’s inexperience becomes dangerous. He spots, but fails to shoot Hitler Youth child soldiers who ambush the commanding officer’s tank with a Panzerfaust, killing the entire crew, and later during a skirmish with anti-tank guns he hesitates under fire. Don is angered at his incompetence, and after the battle he orders Norman to execute a captured German soldier for wearing a U.S. Army coat. When Norman refuses, Don wrestles the pistol into his hand and forces him to pull the trigger, killing the prisoner and traumatizing Norman. Don then leads the tanks to capture a small German town, where Norman kills several German soldiers who were burning alive after being struck by white phosphorus, much to Gordo’s annoyance, telling Norman he should have “let them burn”.While searching an apartment, Don and Norman find a German woman, Irma, and her younger cousin, Emma. Don gives the frightened women eggs and asks for hot water to clean up. Norman starts to play their piano and Emma sings along.
